Little Garden Shed Makeover

When we first bought our home 12 years ago, this little shed was sitting out back. We've always used it to store garden supplies and it did the job. One day recently, I looked at it and thought it needed a new look.

So I started out with painting the trim a soft Caribbean blue and found great pieces of metal wall hangings that would weather well.

I also painted the front door a nice bright red and even the cheap piece of plastic fence got a facelift to match the trim.

What was a dingy shed is now a bright welcoming spot in my backyard! I have to say I LOVE the view now!

Summer Fun Garden

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon it just makes me want to be outside hanging wind-chimes,  painting flowerpots and looking to see what whimsical object I can stick in my flower bed.

I really enjoy going to thrift stores and looking for those fun little objects that can have a new life tucked in the flowerbed somewhere. Both the chair and bird (repainted blue bird of course) came for just a few dollars from my favorite up cycle store.

Just  look around and find items that can be painted like these old lawn chairs I placed up in a plain corner of my yard. That is not really a ladder with the hanging pots, 

it's the back of a very old bench

I especially love looking for little toys to place around the yard, sometimes I just have a hard time keeping the grandsons from pulling them out!

Just look for anything that makes you happy, doesn't always have to be a green thumb. Happy Sunday!
